Pune: A chaotic scene unfolded on the Chakan-Shikrapur Road in Pune, Maharashtra, when a container truck went on a rampage, hitting multiple vehicles and injuring two women on Thursday.

Eyewitnesses described how the truck, traveling from Chakan to Shikrapur, suddenly lost control and struck a woman and a young girl at Talegaon Chowk. The driver, Aqib Khan, a resident of Haryana, seemed to be in a state of panic as he continued driving, leaving a trail of destruction behind.

The truck crashed into several vehicles, including a tempo, a car, and two-wheelers, over a stretch of nearly 2 kilometers. The police attempted to intercept the truck, but it even collided with a government vehicle, an Ertiqa, before finally being stopped by local residents.

The residents, who had had enough of the destruction, placed a dumper on the road at Wajrapadi, forcing the truck to come to a halt. The driver, who had been beaten by an angry crowd, was taken into custody and admitted to Shikrapadi Rural Hospital for treatment.
